Kids beat Mexican to death

I'm sure the Lou Dobbs and Howie Carrs of the world might say these kids did everyone a public service, one less drunk driver (as if illegal immigrants were the only people who drove drunk), one less person in the emergency room, etc.
I think people are getting a little too worked up about the immigration issue.
But I could be wrong.

See, when I lived in Texas I figured they would hate Mexicans, being on the border and all. But in reality, they all got along pretty well.

Instead, it has been since I left Texas and gone farther north that I've noticed the fear of Mexicans.

Of course, Lou has no intention of it as he makes a nice living making people think he's for the regular people and in doing it the way he does it, never will have to worry about being accountable to his constituency.

The Boston Globe ran a feature a few months ago about his daughter, who's an accomplished young equestrienne (in addition to being a Harvard student). Good for her, of course, but it does make Daddy's faux populism look a wee bit contrived, eh?

Small, I must have missed it. Where does the story say anything about drunk driving?

I wasn't talking about this specific guy, just how people like Howie Carr seem to think everytime someone with an Hispanic name is arrested for DWI, it must be an illegal and how he pulls numbers out of his ass ("Every day xx people are killed by illegal aliens driving drunk") to make his point.
